I bought a few calls yesterday (at the money, expiring this Friday)
They've doubled in value
What strike price?

Quick question: When exercising a in the money call option, do i have to actually have the money to buy the shares? Say a strike price of $20, does that mean that i have to have $2K to exercise the call option?

If you are selling to close - you are not buying the actual shares. From experience: PLEASE do a little reading about trading options before you do any trades.

I believe so. If you exercise and don't have the funds to buy the shares, the broker might liquidate other positions. If you don't have the funds why not just sell to close?

What's the best platform to trade on? Not for long term holding, but for shorter 'timing the market' trades?

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has a drug - dostarlimab - that has previously been approved by the FDA for cancer.  It has now been submitted for review to treat a different type of cancer. The committee report is coming out Tuesday, 2/7, with the FDA recommendation on Thursday 2/9.  It is likely to be approved.

I would doubt a big stock like them would get halted for a FDA announcement like this.

At the FDA meeting, the committee asked some sharp questions. So I sold half to lock in my profits. Later in the day, the FDA approved the drug for an additional type of cancer and asked for more data about a 3rd type.
My guess is that if GSK has a bump, it’s first thing today. 


9:35 am  It's dropping, not rising. Still up 2% from when I bought it.

Any new insight into BLUE? It dropped a lot recently, wondering if I should buy some.

When was that recommended?




Cidara Therapeutics, Inc. (CDTX)Cheap stock. Closed at .78/share
Has a new drug coming out.  This past Friday the FDA Staff Report came out.  My doctor friend found the report enthusiastic about the drug.  It is a drug for serious fungal infections. It’s given once a week. The FDA Advisory Committee is announcing their recommendation on Tuesday. They base it on the Staff Report.    They’ll likely recommend it be approved. The FDA will meet in March to announce final approval or not. 

The stock had a 40% drop on Friday at 10:00 am.  IDK why.  IDK when the FDA Staff Report announcement was, but I’m guessing the drop was in response to it.
The drug works against fungal infections. The company website is talking about using it for cancer patients.  My Dr friend sees a large market in nursing home patients. Reduces administrative cost, even if it’s more expensive than the alternative.  If these patients were sent to a hospital for treatment, the hospital can send them back much quicker than a 7 or 10 day course of medicine. CDTX Has engaged Melinta Therapeutics to market it.  Maybe they'll do a good job.  Either way, hospitals and nursing homes will likely use this. Long term. This is the only such drug that’s once a week. There also has not been such an anti-viral approved in a few years.
The company may not pop after Tuesday’s FDA announcement even if they do recommend the drug for approval. But it’s likely to have steady sales into the future.
I’m in.

Thanks - yes, I got in on this, but also sold out...made about $800, but would have been great. Woulda Coulda Shoulda, but you don't go broke by selling too early.
